Just days after Mayweather suggested their highly anticipated September rematch would be an exhibition, Pacquiao has firmly refuted these claims, reaffirming that their bout at the Sphere in Las Vegas on September 19 will indeed be a real fight. This announcement comes on the heels of Netflix's February confirmation of the much-awaited rematch, which is set to be one of the most talked-about events in the history of the sport.
Mayweather's comments earlier this week sent shockwaves through the boxing world, with the boxing icon stating that he and Pacquiao would be entering the ring solely to entertain the fans and put on a show.
